Pimples on the neck that feel hard to the touch may be caused by acne, sebaceous cysts, boils and other factors, and can be relieved by medication and surgery.
1. Acne: It is a chronic inflammatory disease of the sebaceous glands of hair follicles, which can be clinically manifested as hard and painful nodules on the surface, preferably on the cheeks, jaw and other parts of the body. It can be treated by topical retinoic acid ointment, fusidic acid cream and other drugs combined with oral isotretinoin and other drugs.
2. Sebaceous cysts: These are cysts formed by the blockage of sebaceous gland ducts, resulting in the gradual accumulation of sebum, and clinically manifested as round, hard nodules with clear boundaries. It can be treated by surgical excision.
3. Boils: acute suppurative inflammation deep in the hair follicle, clinically manifested as a hemispherical firm nodule with redness and swelling on the surface. It can usually heal on its own without treatment, and can also be treated by topical antibiotics such as mupirocin.
If you have a pimple on your neck that feels hard to the touch, you should go to the hospital in time to improve the relevant examination to clarify the cause of the disease, and treat the symptoms under the guidance of the doctor, avoiding unauthorized use of medication.
